Evolution Conference

6/21-6/25/2019

I rocked my first Evolution talk! Evolution meetings will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first large science meeting I attended as an undergrad, and Evolution 2019 was my third time attending. Through the process of poster making for Evol 2013 and 2016 and talk preparation for Evol 2019, I have been able to track my growth as a scientist and an individual. Hopefully, I can attend future meetings!
